This is the Halloween one I found. It took all of 10 minutes to come across this. Why am I having such a fuss to find a Christmas comforter that I like?!?!?!?!

I think as long as the cover fits it should work.

I forgot to mention I used my current (old) duvet insert as is for years. I wanted a white bed so I didn't buy a new cover for it until last year.

Have you looked on Amazon or on Wayfair

Yes I have. I have also checked ebay,etsy,macys,kohls,walmart,target and it goes on and on. That's why I am resigned to a cover. The best, most festive, jolliest and most colorful options are all duvet covers, not comforters.

The trend now seems to be elegant, understated reindeer patterns ,with perhaps a snowflake or two. That's not really what I am looking for. The tackier the better when it comes to christmas in my book. I may just try to find some fabric and have one made....

I was actually QUITE giddy when I saw that pink snowman one on Wayfair Lindsey. Until I clicked and saw that it does not come in King size. Normally I forgo my pink obsession for Christmas but I thought it was quite charming........ too bad :(

Amy, Walmart online has a few that are...ahem....'loud'. But really, I wouldn't like for you to buy one that was wired/lighted anyway. We don't want you frying over christmas unless its something in one of those pretty pink pans.

If my comforter doesn't have ties to hold it in place inside the duvet, I can easily add some ribbon to the four corners. Same with the inside of the cover...tie a firm bow and you're good. The one I'm using now for Fall doesn't have them. Need to place some, my comforter is sliding around, its poofy, heavy, I keep having to ask DH to take one side and help me shake it back into place.

Yes, the comforter covers are a little bit of a pain, I can break out in a sweat just trying to get it put together with the insides neat. I know there are all kinds of clever little tricks for making it less work and none of them work for me ;)

Years ago I bought a goosedown duvet and, since I didn’t plan to wash it, I bought a duvet cover for it. I washed the cover regularly and aired the duvet outdoors about once a month for a few hours.

This worked great until I started having hot flashes and the duvet was TOO HOT. 🥵

Amy, did you look at Society6? Can’t vouch for the quality of items there yet. My daughter just started with some of her designs there. Owls in scarfs would not be Christmas enough for you :) Will report back when I get the stuff I ordered for quality control.

Iris i saw a couple on society6 but I was leery because I have never heard of them before. I will have to do some research to see if I can find some reviews.

The original European concept of a duvet is as a combination of top sheet and comforter. For 40 years now, we have used just a fitted sheet, then a duvet w/cover. In very cold weather, we add an extra comforter or even an electric blanket on top. Or should I say, I add something on top, my husband sleeps hot. Making the bed in the morning is just fluffing the duvet.

A duvet cover is really just a huge pillowcase. So you could put a comforter inside, a coverlet, even a blanket as long as the size works. Most comforters have 4 loops sewn in the corners and most duvets have ties in the corner. I usually sew on extra loops and ties to help keep my comforter in place.

You could easily make a duvet cover from 2 top sheets - again as long as the size works. When my kids were young I made duvet covers from their favorite characters or TV shows - Star Trek, Transformers etc.

Would something like this work? The one from Bealls has a huge Christmas tree on top

Wondering if you looked at zulily.com too? I was browsing there today and saw a lot of fun and pretty holiday comforters and more.

Here's their current page of holiday textiles:

Hmmm... I now filtered for King size on Wayfair. This has pink in it and *might* be gaudy enough for you:

marie_cate I Have eyed that one with the Spode Christmas tree on it before because I think my SO would like it, and I think it would be a compromise between his likes and my overactive holiday excess. I Have seen it on several websites but think its odd that I can't find one review on it. I still might buy it. Its on Amazon too. I may well end up going with several options and switching them out. Never enough Christmas cheer for me!!!!

I've never had a duvet cover with ties in it: usually the cover fits fairly snugly over the insert so that there's no room to move. But you can put anything inside a duvet cover- years ago when we were young and poor I had an opened out sleeping bag inside one.

Duvet covers usually go over duvets that aren't easily washed, like down ones, and you just pull the cover off and wash it.

OT washing a duvet is easy peasy, use a scant amount of detergent, dry with a tennis ball and you are good to go. I still use duvet covers, but wash regularly too.

Maire_cate - well, you've gone and done it. I ordered the Pottery Barn Forest Gnome sheet set for Christmas. https://www.potterybarn.com/products/forest-gnome-sheet-set/?cm_src=sheet-sets

I love it!!! I have a feather duvet and a neutral beige duvet cover. These sheets will really pop!!

Hope you find something that makes you smile, Amylou.

Not to hijack, but has anyone bought anything from Spoonflower? I have been eyeing a duvet cover there and see that there are Christmas/Winter themed fabrics available as well.

Check The Lake Side Collection. Also Wal-Mart website.

Sealavender, I did. Not cheap, but great quality. At least in my case.

Seagrass - I'm glad you found something you liked! I was surprised at the number of holiday themed sheets and comforters that Pottery Barn had. There were several that tempted me - but I did order a few throw pillows.

East Urban Home Pale Sage/Green/Yellow Microfiber Modern & Contemporary Duvet Cover Set | Wayfair I really like this one. Your post made me go looking. lol I really don't want to spend that much money just for a cover to use for a month, though.

Edited to delete/add...Wal-mart much cheaper prices!

It's probably not what you would like to do but I have taken two twin or even double sized comforters or duvets and duvet covers and tied them together discreetly of course. I've then used that as my bedding for our king bed. That way I can still get the pattern I like.

Of course that means that you have to buy two more comforters if you don't have them. Good luck!

I have only glanced through the responses, but seeing that you like to change things up for the seasons, getting the initial set may cost more upfront, but…after that all you have to get are the covers and the duvet covers take up a lot less space when storing. I am a hugh fan of PB covers, I don’t know if they would be as bold as you are looking for. Target has some fun ones.

Amy I just wanted to say I looove your Halloween comforter! Good luck finding a comparable Christmas one.

Thanks! I was so thrilled to find it. It goes well on my huge, obnoxious canopy bed. With my Charlie Brown "Great Pumpkin" sheets!Very dramatic!

Huh......different ideas, maybe regional? To me, a duvet is less finished or stitched than a comforter - a comforter has the padding quilted into place, whereas a duvet has more movable stuffing that can be repositioned as desired.

However, none of that means you can't fill a duvet cover with a comforter, if what you want is some cosmetic changes. You could put a new cover on each holiday :)

I tried really hard to like duvets but honestly I think they are a big pain in the tushy. They are a pain to put on and the comforter often gets bunched up inside. Just my two cents. I went back to comforters.

Duvets are just covers, like a pillow case, for your comforter. You slip you comforter inside and it protects it from getting dirty and you having to wash it. Just like a pillow case.

I've used duvets for many year, probably most of my adult life. It is common in Europe. It is a cover to protect your comforter.

I throw mine in the washing machine when I wash my sheets. I run it through the dryer with the sheets. Yes, its a pain getting the comforter back into it, but you just get it in.

We always used down comforters, and duvets prevent feathers from coming out, plus they keep the comforter clean. Its not any fun washing a down comforter. I always bring it in to have it washed in a dry cleaner. But I pay to have it washed, not dry cleaning chemicals.

The idea is that the comforter needs to be protected so you don't have to wash it all the time.

Good luck with your search!

I don’t find it too much of a pain to put duvet covers on, but I have a good methôd.

sealavender, I've bought fabric from Spoonflower, and I have also created some fabric patterns that I intend to have printed in the future. The fabric that I bought had some minor flaws in it, where the ink smeared, but I was able to work around those.

Duvet covers are easy to make, and you can create whatever ties you want when you make them. They do require a lot of fabric, however, and I generally have two seams on the tops and bottoms, unless I am doing a geometric patchwork pattern, in which case there are even more seams.
